That would make more sense

is this damn thing out yet?...

Are AE going to make the 1/4" UJs available as spares?... in exactly the same dimensions as the original shafts, so they can be used on old buggies?

MmmKay, so, Websteve, I am a bit unclear on wheel sizes: The new ones will indeed be the exact same sizes as the originals? Sorry to be thick! but I must be sure if I'm to continue protos of the Aluminums, would hate to waste the time developing the wrong thing! Chris REC

The podcast with Cliff Lett stated that extra parts will be available and will be fully compatible with the old cars. He also said that Proline retooled the original tires and AE retooled the original wheels so everything should be compatible.

I would be surprised ( I personally would prefer universals) if associated did universals again. I'd expect to see them transition to cvd's as they did on kits. Kind of like the rear arms- they went with the later design which keeps with the spirit but also gives the durability. I'm sure the cost of building the joints would be high if they did them. Time will tell. It's like Christmas

I'm just pumped I'll have some A-Arm mounts finally for my runner!

Tower hobbies shows they'll be there mid september!

and a new front chassis plate, badly needed, although a bit pricey...

Either way my runner is hitting the track soon!!!

Last night I dismissed it as Steve was working on the website on the fly and it would get fixed, but tonight the links are still broken when you click on the part numbers.

So all the flippers that don't know this stuff will be trying to pass the new stuff off as originals in 6 months making it really hard to figure out if you wanna bid or not...

Exactly. As someone still contemplating a used original vs a re-re (leaning towards the re-re ), that's what I'm worried about the most if I wait until AFTER the release date which is why I'm not. Once re-re parts/cars trickle out and mix in with the original stuff people will be innocently and not-so-innocently mixing and matching original and re-re parts while claiming they're all one or the other which makes it risky to buy anything RC10-related after the September release date depending on what it's being advertised as. There will be a lot of scammers and flippers looking to cash-in so trust no one.
